​Blog!Strike! News and Gaming Thoughts﻿﻿

I am happy to announce that the first expansion Class published for Strike! is not the upcoming Rogue, but is, in fact, The Psion. The Psion was written by Gabriel Butche, who has been playing Strike! since the days when it was still named Sacred BBQ. He writes:

The Psion is a Class focused around one of the more esoteric mechanics in Strike!, interrupts and reactions. On her turn the Psion may use one of several powers to prime her psionic abilities, giving her access to a menagerie of powers usable between now and her next turn - things like responding to enemy attacks with healing for teammates, grabbing foes who try to slink away, and even increasing the potency of zones as they're laid down! She also has access to several different class features which include making her and her teammates able to act with more bravado, swapping role boosts around the party, and of course, bending enemy's minds to your whims.

My opinion? The Psion is a very cool idea for a class that plays totally differently than the existing classes. So what are you waiting for? Go check it out!

If you are an aspiring designer and have any interest in making content for Strike!, it's simple! Just email me and give me a heads up and I can give you the thumbs up, send you templates and stuff to help you make the formatting look good, and if I like what you're making, I'll help promote your work here and on the various forums and media I frequent.

Very neat! I can't wait to see what's in store with the Psion. Quick question though, where can we find your email? It doesn't seem to be listed in the website's contact information, nor is it on your Facebook page or the Kickstarter.

The contact form on this site goes directly to my email! Just be sure to actually enter in your real email address so I can get back to you. (I got one message from someone on it asking "does this work?" but with an obviously fake email address so I couldn't reply!)

Or, if you want my email for real, it's my first initial, then my last name, at gmail.com (no punctuation or anything).
